I've decided to buy a decent (over $12) pair of sunglasses. I'm not all concerned about brand but I want good ones and they have to be polarized. I was at a local sporting goods store and tried out the Oakley Half Jacket with XLJ leneses (http://oakley.com/brochures/eyewear/half_jacket/). I prefer the bronze or gold colored lenese as they seem to seperate colors better (would be nice when hunting and whatnot). Of course these were $150 (found them for $130 online).

Do you wear glasses? Last pair of glasses I had I got a pair of prescription sunglasses. I hear Oakleys are good but I never wear sunglasses. I'd go the prescription route again, I just nnever wore the prescription ones...

Going to AR15ARMORY.com is like going into the twilight zone. Same names, same subjects but it is still wierd as hell-VTHOKIESHOOTER

half jackets are good, since you can interchange the lenses. Clear for indoor shooting, tinted for outdoor use.

I've worn a pair of Oakley Juliets (polarized "Ice" lenses) everyday for about 5 years now. Lots of abuse. Saved my eyes a few times from flying gravel, brass, jacket fragments, etc. I switch to a pair of M-Frames with clear shields for lab work and indoor ranges.

Freedom and Justice come out of a box. Sometimes it is a Jury box. Sometimes it is a Ballot box. Other times it has to come from a Cartridge box!

I've had oakley M frames in the past, I could never keep a pair because the hinges kept breaking on the earpieces, this was during the transition between the old and new logos. I guess my face was just too wide for them, the holes in the earpieces would crack and eventually fall apart. I went thru 3 frames in about a year and a half.

I've got three pairs of E-Wires - one for normal wear and backups in the truck and the Z.

e-wires are my go-to. Love'em. I can't drive/golf without them if the sun is out, or even on a bright cloudy day.

I want to get a pair of Wiley X's for the range.

I wouldn't recommend WileyX's, try 'em out before you buy, the pair I had were horribly distorted compared to any Oakleys I've ever owned or worn. Try out the Half Jacket XLJ's for shooting, very comfortable, very clear, and not a whole lot bigger than than Wires.

Honestly though, these are superb glasses, although not as well known amoung the mainstream. Their major users are snow and water skiers, who require protection from very high glare situations. I love their "rose" colored lenses.
